We had halon systems in the main propulsion rooms on some of the Navy Ships (mostly gas turbine powered if memory serves me). We had things like an emergency escape breathing device you would wear on your hip while working in those spaces, you could stick that in your mouth and have a few minutes of oxygen you could use as you were exiting the spaces. There was an alarm that went off before the halon deployed and I forget what the time was you had to make the escape from the space before it would discharge (30 to 45 seconds rings a bell but’s it been a long time).

There is some prohibition but some exemptions as I recall. I was only in one large data center that had a halon system. You had to get trained before you entered as to what to do if it triggered. I remember big red E stop buttons around. Not sure if that cut off the halon, or turned on the ventilation system or opened the doors... something to help you survive.

No oxygen availability. Good smoke sniffer system and a rack by rack power killing system is what some use.
